The number on the plate is the vehicle's serial number. The number stamped into the firewall is the cowl code. They are different. It looks like your '50 was built in the Kansas City plant with a V-8 engine. The serial number starts with B0KC - this means B for V-8 engine, 0 or zero for model year, and KC for assembly plant. The remaining digits are the specific serial number - it should be at least six digits. The s/n can also be found with some investigating on the frame. It appears on the frame or cross member beneath the coil on the right hand side.
